Sir George led the group down the side streets in the city as they tried to avoid any possible spies that might be watching the main roads through Ironside. Rya was surprised by how many people were moving about and she could tell that some of them were heading home after a long day's work. But there was a good amount of people still roaming the streets and they seemed to be moving towards the market district where most of the pubs and restaurants were located.
They pass by several small stores with wooden doors and windows. Most of them looked like simple little places where you could buy supplies like food or clothing and a few of them had signs outside with images of different objects on them. Some of the items were familiar to Rya, but others were strange to her.
"Looks like everyone is heading in for the night, my Lord. We should probably find a tavern so we don't stand out in this crowd," Sir George said to Quinus.
"Yeah... It looks like most of the humans have gone home while the dwarves are still out..." Percy said as he surveyed the narrow streets.
"Good idea. We should find a place that's a bit away from the Adventures Guild. I don't want to deal with the noise and commotion." Quinus replied.
"Yes, my Lord! I know just the place!" Sir George said happily.
"You know a place?... What place?" Percy asked.
"If my memory is correct, I believe there is an Inn called the Lost Monk just off the main road. The locals said it was a good inn with a solid tavern... They're known for their strong beer and cheap rooms. Plus, I heard the food is pretty good there as well. I was going to check it out with Sir Brad. But that's when the goblin horde came out of the woods. I think it's a little over a mile walk from here."
"The Lost Monk huh... Sounds good to me." Percy said.
"Well then, let's get going before the sun sets," Quinus said.
"Aye, my Lord." Sir George replied.
After about 30 minutes of walking, they arrive at their destination. It's a small inn called The Lost Monk.
"Hopefully they have some vacancies. I'll check, my Lord," Sir George says while walking into the tavern.
'Hmm? This place looks quaint?' Rya thought to herself. 'I wonder what kind of clientele they get here.'
She scans the tavern looking for any threats to herself and her companions. She doesn't see anything out of the ordinary so far. But there seemed to be a few adventurers standing around talking.
"Quin. Why do you want to stay away from adventurers? Aren't they your allies?" Rya asked.
"Well, adventurers are like drifters. They come from all different kingdoms across the continent. So if word gets out we're staying in Ironside, they might have a quest to report me. Or worse, they could be working for my uncle." Quinus replied.
"Got it. You'd rather just stay under the radar... Makes sense," Rya agreed.
Quinus nods and smiles. "Plus it's not every day a beautiful Dark Elf walks around the city of Ironside."
'Q-Quin just can't stop flirting with me! So, this is what it feels like to be a woman... Getting hit on every ten minutes or so... I-I think I like it-NO! Stop it, Ryan! You're just going to lead him on and I'm a man dammit!' Rya thinks to herself as she tries to keep herself calm.
Dalia comes up beside Rya and whispers into her ear, "I can smell Alpha's mating scent. Do you need time alone with Beta?"
Rya gave Dalia a questioning look but then sighed in frustration. 'Dalia!?... Just relax, Ryan. She's just teasing you... And I can't let her.'
